Even bigger?!?!

For those of you who are fans of Powell's City of Books in Portland, they are planning on adding 10,000 to 20,000 sf of space to the existing store. How exciting! Claude and I have only visited the store once, but it was one of the best bookstore trips we have ever taken - we found a couple of books on the Konkani language plus some fun Stephen King and Neil Gaiman kids books.

The story was in this morning's Shelf Awareness and gives you the lowdown on what their plans are at this point. They are 'planning in the open' meaning that they haven't finalized the plans and will let the public know as ideas unfold and plans are finalized. The timeline for the increase in size and the improvements is to have it completed by November 2010.

Yay for more books!! We'd better start building bookshelves now...
